Eric Mingus After studying voice and bass with various luminaries of the music world and a brief semester at Berklee college of music, Eric sought the education of the road, touring as a vocalist. He also played at all of the major European jazz festivals and taught vocal improvisation classes. Catherine Sikora Catherine Sikora moved from Ireland to New York to embark on a serious study of abstract/chromatic improv.

DARMSTADT presents GUNUNG SARI

DARMSTADT "Classics of the Avant Garde" presents GUNUNG SARI Wednesday, February 27 at 7:00 PM, Galapagos Art Space Gunung Sari, from the ancient Javanese for "Mountain Essence," is the Brooklyn-based performance ensemble of Nick Lesley, Stanley Ruiz, and Michael Dotolo. While taking inspiration from Gamelan and other percussion-based folk musics of Southeast Asia (such as Kulintang), their instrumentation is anything but traditional. Circuit-bent electronics, homemade analog synthesizers, remnants of wood and metal are their main tools, in addition to the laptop, which is used both for image and sound processing. Modeling their performances after the ritual forms played by Balinese "Sekaha" ensembles, from which their name is derived, the band has situated themselves in between New York's improvisational noise and artified new media communities. Past shows include the annual Bent festival, La Superette at Eyebeam, free103point9's "Noise!" festival at the Ontological Hysteric Theater, Issue Project Room, Monkey Town, in addition to rock venues in Brooklyn and beyond. "As a band, we are interested in the similarities and differences regarding the physicality of manipulated circuits and more traditional instruments such as percussion, and using these opposing means in interplay of the intentional and interference. Gunung Sari is interested in topics like collaborative performance, multimedia events, spatial treatment of sound, and the raw power of noise."—Gunung Sari Their CD "That Wanderest Unseen" is available at Neck and Tongue music. www.neckandtongue.com/gunungsari.htm For more information and band history: http://www.gunungsari.blogspot.com http://www.myspace.com/gunungsari Hosts Nick Hallett and Zach Layton DJ "classics of the avant-garde" before and after the live set: Bülent Arel, Robert Ashley, Meredith Monk, Harry Partch, Toru Takemitsu etc. DARMSTADT "CLASSSICS OF THE AVANT GARDE" presents GUNUNG SARI Wednesday, February 27, 7:00 pm Galapagos Art Space 70 N 6th Street (between Wythe and Kent), Brooklyn L to Bedford $5 admission
